How can victims recover money from banking frauds?

Advocate A M Iktear Uddin (anik) Answered: 18 Jun 2026

Dear Client, If your bank account was fraudulently debited, immediately inform your bank, request that the disputed transactions be blocked, and seek an investigation. Report the incident through the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (www.cybercrime.gov.in) or by calling 1930. File an FIR or cybercrime complaint with supporting documents such as bank statements, screenshots, and transaction details. Under RBI guidelines, customers may be protected against unauthorized electronic transactions if reported promptly. If the bank fails to resolve the issue, you may escalate the matter to the RBI Integrated Ombudsman. For assistance, contact Prime Legal.
